Collaborative Approach to Wellness

At Wellness by Design Counselling and Psychotherapy Services, we’re passionate about supporting individuals and couples through life’s transitions, emotional challenges, and relationship struggles. We understand that life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. We’re here to walk alongside you with compassion, care, and respect as you begin your path toward healing and wellness.

My Approach

I believe therapy should be a collaborative, personalized process that respects your unique experiences. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Gottman Method, and somatic practices, I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, gain clarity, and build resilience.
